The Essence of the Human Soul in Rosminian Theoresis

Abstract

Why is it important to bring to light the Rosminian conception of the essence of the human soul? Because only by taking this problem into consideration it is possible to impose a rigorous discourse on the nature of human being. Man, in fact, is placed at the center of philosophical and theological investigations, because he is the “privileged place of a metaphysical questioning”. He is subject and object. He is the “Ego” that pronounces himself and relates to others and to God, but he could do nothing if he did not exist, that is, if the soul of the speaker did not express himself in his existence.
